I got bored with this after 150p. ( )

Alex Delaware and friend take a job on a remote Pacific island and work for a scientist with secrets. At the same time there are some strange murders. Underground caves and disfigured people all add to much different plot. ( )

Alex Delaware is dimmer than I thought. Delaware is lured to an isolated, tropical island by a wealthy scientist -- whom he has never met nor heard of - with flattery and the promise of an underwritten, 6-month vacation. From the beginning of the book, the words "If it sounds to good to be true..." echoed in my head. Then, coincidentally, Delaware's Barbie-girlfriend, Robin, needs a break from her work as well and is able to tag along for months of love-making in between spiders, giant cockroaches, murder, and a bit of horror. Even their dog travels with them. But Milo only has a cameo appearance (via phone) - which reminded me of the old television plot technique. Delaware was frankly dull outside his partnership with Milo. To his credit, Kellerman has scattered, short passages with good descriptions of various supporting character, etc. However, if you are not a Kellerman fan committed to reading through the Delaware series, I recommend skipping this book.

A good Kellerman novel. Not my favorite, but solid for the genre. ( )
